Hi,
I am new to drum machines so it's hard to pull out the right ones.
In short, looking for simple, affordable machines that can load samples and could be integrated in your DAW.
Suggestions please.
Regards.

 

Drum machines: FXpansion-Geist, One Small Clue-Poise, Native Instruments-Maschine, Native Instruments-Battery, LinPlug-RMV ...
this is for sample users

 

Sorry, I should have been more clearer.

Not software based but hardware machines that could load samples.

 

I like this "M-Audio Trigger Finger Pro".

 

The Trigger Finger is just a Controller.
If you want a Hardware Drum Sampler I would have a look at Akai MPC, Roland MV8000, or those Korg Stuff

 

Or you could have a look at older Akai, E-mu, Yamaha, Ensoniq, or Roland samplers. They can be used as sample based rhythm machines and they usually have up to 8 separate outputs, too. However, if you need a sampling rhythm machine with pads and a sequencer then one of Akai MPCs is what you're looking for.

Cheers!

 

Korg electribe 2S sampler, electribe esx 1 (old,offers sd-card/and smart media models), electribe es (oldest,smart media,vintage)

grooveboxes/workstations:
Akai mpc (standalone boxes)
Yamaha RS 7000 (vintage)
Roland MC909/808 (good quality, big display), not sure about the Roland SP models for your purpose

 

Thank you very much guys.
I will have a look at all what you guys have mentioned. @SineWave I like older machines because they were straight forward and more user friendly. Thank you for reminding.

 

it may not be really cheap but you could try the elektron machinedrum mk-2 UW, not to sure about it's sampling capabilities but you can load user waveforms into it and it's own sounds are basicly amazing, i got one years ago and will never part with it

 

Elektron Machinedrum UW + has owns machines, can load your own samples, beast of a drum machine.

 

Thanks @statik and @databaze. I will have a look. Right now am reading reviews of Akai MX8 http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/jan14/articles/akai-mpx8.htm .

 

No problem AHM, and whatever you decide, I hope it makes you happy

 

Simple. Maschine

 

no prob AMH tho you might have to save up for the machinedrum it will be worth it 10x

 

Thank you again guys.

@statik @databaze : Elektron Machinedrum is a good investment in terms of money and synthesizer/drum machine. Though I can get it now but it will be heavy on my pocket. I am going to start saving money from now on. Thank you for your advice. It does stands out.

 

i still remember when bought it, was looking through the list of drumcomputers, 1st one in the list nope, 2nd one nope, 3rd one nope, 4th one nope, 5th one hmmmz almost, 6th one hell yeah!! *looks at pricetag* oh fuck me.... meh fuck my wallet i need this

 

Yeah Geist is ill...

 

Meanwhile, Octatrack having all the fun in the other room with the ladies

 

I have an old EMU E5000 Ultra laying around with hard drive loaded with all EMU discs I'm willing to let go if your interested.

 

A couple of the Elektron bits have permanent price drops now, very good value imo. Though Overbridge is a bit dodge.

I'm looking at the Tempest, it can be used a sampler too...it's not cheap but it's a good price if you're going to use every last bit of it, listen to it being used a synth, no external fx..just been waiting to see what cropped up at NAMM.
